Aluminum-Free Deodorant

Final conclusion (product test below), this product meets expectations for an all natural deodorant, without the obnoxious irritation or clothing staining complaints I’ve seen in other products. User is advised to plan on reapplication 3-4 hours as needed.I will be purchasing the other scents as a result of my positive experience.Current overall rating: 5.0Long-term goals:- Good hygiene;- Healthy lifestyle;Short-term goal:- Detoxify my beauty products;Purpose:Purchased this to get aluminum sulfate out of my topical products.Observations:- Product arrived on time;- Smells good (I get the woody notes mostly);Evaluation:- Evaluation consists of three tests:- All-day test;- Workout test;- Sleep test;All-Day Test- Method: Apply after shower dry-off in morning; go to work; afternoon smell test (reapply if needed); finish day; smell test;- Applied 630am; reapplied 1200pm;- Observations:- Partner smell test (hug) 530pm, no odor detected;- Armpit check, slight body odor on skin but no odor detected in general;Workout Test- Method: Apply before workout, workout, smell test;- 52m HIIT full-body weight-training workout (est. caloric burn @ 783cal, Wahoo RunFit);- Observations:- General smell test returned no odors (fragrance or body odor);- Armpit check returned faint body odor, no fragrance;Sleep Test- Method: Apply before sleep, sleep for 8+ hours, smell test after waking up;- 11hr sleep broken up into two sleep periods: 9hr sleep period, brief awake period less than 15m, 2hr sleep period (Fitbit Blaze sleep monitor);- Observations:- Both general smell test and armpit check returned no smell (no body odor, no fragrance);Forward looking statements:- Slight irritation after extended use 9+ hours (no visible redness; I assume this is due to dryness);- I understand this is a deodorant (not an anti-perspirant) so I expect some sweating - but I’m looking for a lack of significant body odor (whether non-existent or masked by the product);- I understand there is a trade-off of features here between organic, non-toxic ingredients (and therefore increased toxicity - mainly aluminum sulfate) and staying power, anti-perspirant; therefore,- I won’t hold this product accountable for doing the latter, as it is not designed with those features in mind;

Reviewing this as a female who feels some women's products just leave you short changed, plus I prefer not to smell like baby powder or fruit. I've tried a fair number of nonaluminum deodorants and so far this one has been best. So satisfied that I'm just going to quit searching and plan on repurchasing this. I love woodsy scents and this is very nice. The stick scent is quite strong but on your skin it's just a nice fragrance. I don't expect it to work like an aluminum product, but if I apply it after my shower at night and again in the morning while dressing, I have no issues with odor. Of course it's not going to sustain you 24 hours if you've been perspiring very heavily but of course you'd shower then anyway. I also like the width of the stick, it is very solid but it applies very smoothly and covers your skin well. Some deodorant sticks are either abrasive or crumbly or chalky, or else seem too thin on application, but this stick is good. They got it right.

Great scent but I do sweat through it pretty quick otherwise pretty good if you're not working in the heat

The scent is awesome, but I felt like I had to apply it several times a day. This would be awesome in a gel. I might buy it again for occasional use.

Howdy again, folks! Now, let me tell you about my experience with the Barrel & Oak Aluminum-Free Deodorant. You see, I saved up for two whole months to get me two sticks of this here deodorant, thinkin' that the most expensive one must be the best. But, boy, was I in for a letdown.The description claimed it would last a whole 24 hours, but I reckon it barely made it to the four-hour mark. Now, bein' out on the farm and workin' up a sweat, I expected a deodorant that could handle the job. Unfortunately, this one fell short. The scent, which they called Bourbon Cedar, wasn't even noticeable, and it seemed to disappear even quicker after a hard day's work.The item description talked about natural ingredients and how it's gentle on sensitive skin. Well, I reckon it might be gentle, but it sure ain't effective. I was hopin' for a deodorant that would keep me smellin' fresh like the man I want to be, but it just couldn't deliver.They claim to use premium ingredients and natural fragrances, but I couldn't detect much of a scent at all. I reckon the natural fragrances might be more subtle, but in my opinion, a deodorant should do more than just be subtle. It should keep you feelin' and smellin' clean all day long.Now, Barrel & Oak may talk about bein' designed for the modern man and havin' all these fancy ideals, but at the end of the day, I just needed a deodorant that worked. And this one, despite its hefty price tag, didn't meet my expectations.I gotta say, I was hopin' for a product that would be earth-friendly, wallet-friendly, and keep me smellin' like a million bucks. But sadly, Barrel & Oak's deodorant didn't deliver on any of those fronts. It claims to be all-natural and cruelty-free, but it didn't do much for me when it came to odor protection and longevity.So, my friends, if you're lookin' for a deodorant that can handle the farm life and keep you smellin' fresh all day, I reckon you might wanna look elsewhere. As for me, I'll be stickin' to somethin' a bit more reliable and budget-friendly.
